Neurino. The plugin selection was stripped down quite radically without affecting the basic usage. Of course there might be interest of compiling deadbeef with larger plugin selection, but the size would growth sametime.

I dont miss extra functionality either, so the deadbeef was made small purposely.

And the global hotkeys works just fine with deadbeef in Lucid 5.2.

Compiling deadbeef in Wary should be easy to get better dependency support. I dont use Wary though.

I had to deal with mp4 files too and saw this stripdown version of deadbeef does not support them (honestly the plugin that allows to read them is 1.2MB...)

So I updated the script above to not rely on .wma extension but use the one of passed files (.mp4 im my case) so I can do:

Code:

2mp3 -b 150k *.mp4

and get them all converted to mp3

Hope this can help all fans of this tiny pet (what I really love is I can just shift-right click a directory in ROX (Open With) and choose deadbeef to get all mp3s in it played, thing that mplayer does not do!)

I have learned a lot of messing with Clementine and Banshee--in particular how to play wma files in deadbeef!

The reason it did not was because the gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin was not matched with the ffmpeg libraries (libavcodec, etc.). VLC and Audacious have their own codecs so they would play wma which confused the issue, and me. My fault of course, but really..... It can get just too complicated

Unpack and install this deb file and I think deadbeef should play wma. It just did for me.

deadbeef does play m4a which are the same as mp4--I do not have any mp4 to test. Please let me know if this works to play wma--anyone that has some

Speaking as an audiophile--converting a lossy codec to a lossy codec results in even more lossy sound. The quality of the sound will be better if you play the original format without converting..
